- Clover's Pov -

I hadn't left my room in a month. I was beyond humiliated. I had barely spoken to everybody or answered their texts. I wanted one person and one person only right now... Jaden. A soft knock on my door echos throughout my room. "come in" I speak up, my voice all croaky from crying. Charlie steps in and sends me a sympathetic smile. She sits down on the bed next to me and rubs my back. "What have I done, I could have killed her" I whisper holding a pillow close to my chest. "You didn't though" She comforts me.

"but I could of, remember what happened to you... we had that argument when we was 14, I made eye contact with you and you ended up in a coma for 6 days" I sigh."that's the past, we agreed not to speak about it again because you feel bad and blame yourself everytime" She whispers. "doesn't matter what we agreed to, I could have killed you as well,  I'm a terrible fucking person, TERRIBLE" I whisper back as Josh enters the door way.

"you guys okay?" He questions. I nod quickly and hold my pillow close to my chin, cuddling into it. "well I'm going starbucks and to drop Griffin's glasses off again, we all know how bad he is about forgetting them, but Clover, come out with us later yeah?" He asks.

"Maybe" I nod and smile. He leaves and I close my bedroom door. "How have you managed to keep all of this from him, you've been dating for like half a year" I laugh to Charlie. She shrugs and smirks "I have my ways". "How haven't you told Jaden?" she questions. "I think he knows" I say catching her full attention.

"what do you mean?" She asks now facing me. "I don't know he drops subtle hints, like when Ondre asked us to go to his party, Jaden was thinking "don't even think about it"and then I said we'd be there and afterwards he came up to me and said "I thought I told you not to go", I'm not sure though I could just be reading into it too much" I shrug.

After 20 minutes of us talking about usual girl shit Josh comes back and tells us we're all heading to the beach. I get up and get changed, picking out a bikini and slipping on shorts, a crop top and my black doc martens over the top. Josh and Charlie left 10 minutes before me since I said I'd drive myself. I brush my teeth and grab my keys, a towel, my phone etc, and leave. I lock the door and jump into Charlie's heated car, turning on the radio and driving off towards the beach.

"next up is Jxdn- COMATOSE" The person on the radio says as comatose starts playing. I pull over on the side of the road, in complete shock as his angelic voice fills my car.

"holy fuck" I whisper with happy tears streaming out of my eyes. "Jaden, you did it you really did it!" I whisper as the song ends. Fuck this, I need to see him, it's been a month.

I make a u-turn (don't do this at home kids) and head over in the direction to his apartment. I pull up outside and jump out of my car, taking very slow steps up the stairs to his door. I press the doorbell and there was no answer. I notice the door was unlock and I walk in to hear the tv on. He was watching Fresh Meat... our favourite netflix show. I stand in the livingroom door way and look at him with sympathy.

"What are you doing here?" He questions turning the lights on since he was sitting in the dark. I gasp at the sight of his icy blonde hair. It suited him so much. "your hair" I smirk. "what about it?" He laughs. "Its... different" I smile. "Why thankyou for noticing" He grins, downing some more vodka. "Jaden it's 10am, why are you drinking?" I question. He shrugs and throws himself on the couch. "You did it Jaden, you're on the radio" I say tearing up again, grabbing his hands. He smiles and whispers "I couldn't have done it without you Clover-Mae".

"Why are you being so nice to me?" He asks. I shrug and look down at my hands. "Clover you have to believe me, It wasn't what it looked like" He says. "Care to elaborate then?" I ask. "She blackmailed me" He frowns. "wha- Mads did?" I question. He nods. "Blackmailed you with what?". He scrunches his face up and sighs.

"I can't tell you" He mutters. "of course you can't" I mumble, standing up and heading towards the door.

"I'm in love with you" He speaks up. My heart freezes, My joints stiffen, My head become heated. "you- what?" I ask turning around to face him. "I'm in love with you" He repeats. I step back. fuck. fuck he can't be. "No, Jaden, you can't be in love with me" I say tearing up.

fuck I love him, I love him so much but if I let him in I'll have to tell him.

"I can" He says coming towards me. I step back again. "No- you can't" "there's something about me that you don't know". He takes my hand. "I do know, I know everything Clover" He says. I stand in shock, feeling like I was about to pass out.

"I'm exactly like you, I can read minds, hurt people, feel their emotions, I spent my whole life thinking my father and I was the only ones that were cursed. My mum has no idea, just like yours doesn't. Clover we have so much in common, we both lost the most important people in our lives but that's the reason we found eachother, if your father was still alive you wouldn't have came back here, if my father was still alive, I wouldn't have moved out of my mother's house and moved school" He says. I struggle for words. I just stand there shaking.

"How come I've never caught you reading my mind?" I question. "I have an added ability to block my thoughts and emotions from certain people if and when needed, I didn't want you to figure it out before I could tell you. Mads was the only person besides my father that knew and she got jealous of us. she blackmailed me that she would tell you if I didn't pretend I had sex with her, nothing happened between us. You don't understand how much you mean to me, Yeah I've been with a lot of girls but I've never felt this way with any of them but you. We were meant for eachother, we're the same, exactly the same" He says.

"I love you too" I whisper and he pulls me up into a hug with my legs arounds his waist. He hooks my chin with his finger and places a gently yet passionate kiss on my lips.
